Don't Give the Ending Away

In a room orange and red
On a hospital bed
A love's lament
The warmth of breath, slowly fade away

Just down the hall there's a wailing call
Tiny hands
A brand-new breath
It comes around, around again

But what do we do when the lights dim low?
Searching for shelter in the dead of snow
What do we do when the stars fall down?
Looking for time when the sand runs out

It's human nature to search for what it means to be alive
Still I try, still I try

The social contest, just keep it to yourself
What's after now has come before the roundabout
But I don't feel the same as yesterday
Tomorrow is never promised so I live today
The only way

What do we do when the stars fall down?
Searching for time when the sand runs out

It's human nature to search for what it means to be alive
Still I try, still I try
The nomenclature, a fantasy of truth in a lie
The by and by, still I try

If there's a heaven would you take me to the corridors and lay me down, lay me down
If there’s a heaven would you take me to its open shore and let me drown

It's human nature to search for what it means to be alive
Still I try, still I try
The nomenclature, a fantasy of truth in a lie
The by and by, still I try

If there's a heaven would you take me to the corridors and lay me down, lay me down
If there's a heaven would you take me to its open shore

The by and by, still I try

Don't give the ending away
